SL2 Steering problem
My wife has a 2001 SL2 with about 45000 miles on it. We've been having
a number of problems lately and so far all the dealer has really been able to say is "we can't find anything" - but a few Google searches have turned up some answers that have then solved the problem, so I'm hoping someone can help here. Today, about 50 miles from home, she pulled off the road because every time she steered to the right, she would hear a grinding noise and the steering wheel would shake a bit. After a few minutes she noticed a burning smell and decided it was time to call for help. It was towed back to the dealer; they called to say they could find nothing wrong. She is going in for a test drive with the mechanic tomorrow. Any ideas? We are getting really frustrated with the dealer but just want the thing fixed. Thanks, Matt |

Usually the tugging from one side to or the other could be a hung up brake component. Elector |

Wheel bearing ?????? Left side? Did they check the rear brakes/bearings?
